As is causally dismissing their claims, which means those claims should be investigated. If the government won't do it, who would you suggest do so?

The media is a hate machine, spewing one bad, over-rated story after another, trying to hurt President Trump. I don't even bother watching the media circus anymore. (except CBS) I hope Trump makes all these clown-reporters lives miserable for the next 8 years.

The news is clearly biased. The media pushes propaganda that does not serve the interests of the American people as a whole. They aim to distort reality and push a narrative that is harmful to Americans.

Trump is correct that the press is an enemy of the American people.

Press is the enemy? Since when is the press supposed to be sycophantic?

They all want him impeached.

No, they are reporting the news. They are not fake news, or even VERY fake news.

Fake news is the National Enquirer.

Most presidents have had to deal with news that is not flattering to them. This is the first president who is declaring war on the First Amendment.

See how fast his opinion changes. LOL.

Maybe they would if he would quit treating them like chit. Like he did all though every campaign rally until today.

Now THAT'S a way to get good press coverage.

Remember when Nixon was asked what he would do differently? "Maybe be nicer to the press."

He will only serve to make them more famous. You think they aren't enjoying this circus?

I wouldn't call the media the enemy, but I damned sure wouldn't call them a friend of the people. They attempt to influence us by reporting opinion and agenda and representing it as fact. That is called disinformation by some.

"Press ‘is the enemy of the American people’"

For today's press, I agree

"that a free press was essential to a democracy."

Even "free speech" has its limitations.
